So, like, are these people pushing for a monarchical president and fully politicized executive branch cool with a Dem POTUS inheriting that same power? Bc I don’t think they want to live in that world, and either the current power grab will be used to prevent it or they trust SCOTUS to nullify it. - ThreadSky

But also, Trump's playing king precisely because his people are trying to effectuate a constitutional counterrevolution in service to an all-powerful executive. Makes you wonder what they intend to do with that power should the people reject his monarchical prerogative.

Another January 6th will be the republican plan. 1965 all over again?

mehaas50.bsky.social•116 days ago

that's the scary part

pottymouthpup.bsky.social•116 days ago

You’re so cute, of course it wouldn’t be OK for a Dem

Also the folks pushing for an imperial Trump-Musk regime will make sure a dem could never become POTUS

lucycat02.bsky.social•116 days ago

Right, they've planned it out so that their regime will never cede power but rather last for...what, maybe a thousand years? A thousand-years regime?

bigbriguy.bsky.social•116 days ago

Fucking Nazis!

lucycat02.bsky.social•116 days ago

yep...

mechilders99.bsky.social•116 days ago

They know Dems would never use that kind of power.

sirelghinn.bsky.social•116 days ago

They're cool with it because they don't intend on letting the Dems back into office.

jbparity.bsky.social•114 days ago

You assume there will be a free and fair election.

jbparity.bsky.social•114 days ago

My apologies. Yesterday I replied in a moment when I was feeling a bit hopeless. I overlooked the fact that there are people on the inside fighting in ways we may never see our know - and even those currently complying or even supporting F47 who WILL resist.
We will have elections... participate!

seth-diamond.bsky.social•115 days ago

They've thrown everything into the current coup, planning to make such changes, that there's not going to be a fair election next time. What is left to find out, is what replaces Reichpublicans if they fail. Sad truth is, that they will survive because of "national unity" instead of accountability

baxie71.bsky.social•114 days ago

Don't be silly. There will be no more elections.

bsnmsn.bsky.social•116 days ago

This was a component of 2025 where the president is a dictator!

thechristina08.bsky.social•116 days ago

Bloody 47 belongs in prison, instead playing the strongman!

seekerz.bsky.social•116 days ago

You look at how they stripped the Democratic governor of his executive powers in North Carolina, and I think that could give you a clue as to exactly how they feel about it

lessye.bsky.social•115 days ago

They are not planning on having a Democratic POTUS

legaleaglette.bsky.social•116 days ago

I don't wonder at all. It's painfully obvious. The past in prologue. He tried the first time and the guardrails held. I don't know if they will this time but I'm going down swinging for the fences.

buddhapalmsmash.bsky.social•115 days ago

Mike, they intend to pass a SAVE type act next year ahead of elections. That and continued study of how to hack the equipment. He's protected himself from attempts to 25th Amendment him.

resistomatic.bsky.social•115 days ago

2 words - rigged elections

nixmar.bsky.social•116 days ago

Yes. The CEO president is indistinguishable from a dictator. That was always their goal. They won’t let the “enemy of the people” take power back.

tangentsafari.bsky.social•116 days ago

I think there’s mounting evidence that they don’t intend to have to win elections anymore.

coco101265.bsky.social•114 days ago

Trump said this on the campaign trail. Telling people to get out and vote and that they wouldn't have to do it again. He's also looking to strengthen America through colonisation and or Imperialism. I wouldn't bet against him helping out Putin with the invasion of Ukraine.

tangentsafari.bsky.social•114 days ago

Yes.

At a certain point we have to admit that everything that seems to be happening is happening.

tng34.bsky.social•116 days ago

I agree and sure hope @democracydocket.com @marcelias.bsky.social and folks are planning ahead. I know they work tirelessly on voting rights but also wonder about what seems to be the inevitable move to keep Trump in office. We need to do when/then, not if/then.

tangentsafari.bsky.social•116 days ago

When/then is a good way to put it.

I’d like to have whole rooms full of smart people basically role playing each possible scenario and coming up with plans.

apmitchell.bsky.social•116 days ago

This! I have said this over and over and….

kdtremp.bsky.social•115 days ago

Martial Law?

queensknight.bsky.social•115 days ago

No, they aren't cool with it, but they don't plan on ever leaving office, so I don't think they care.

gjs1026.bsky.social•115 days ago

Trump needs to be removed from office.
He does not represent American values!

framplings.bsky.social•113 days ago

There will not be another free and fair election in America until revolution purges this regime. There will be an historic and valiant attempt to flood the ballot boxes to recapture the federal government, but it will be too late. That maximal, final effort came due in November of ‘24. Complete Coup

kylogarner.bsky.social•115 days ago

If Trump is not stopped now, he will make the military his private police force and fire on citizens. He is also trying to build up the mercenary forces with Eric Prince.

def-539.bsky.social•115 days ago

All what is being done is to keep donnie’s ass out of jail.

thrasher62.bsky.social•113 days ago

Exactly!🎯
How can it be possible that that many MAGA
followers are okay with Trump turning our country into a dictatorship or monarchy???
No doubt, they're probably just not paying attention to what's really going on here, and they will only respond to it when it starts affecting them personally😣😡

ewr1947.bsky.social•113 days ago

If you discuss this with them, they firmly believe that checks and balances will prevent this and scoff at the suggestion, going so far as to suggest the left's paranoia stems from a fundamental dislike, even hatred of the man.

thrasher62.bsky.social•113 days ago

🎯 exactly the same experience I've had trying to talk sense into people on that side of the fence. Their Common Sense has been canceled out and replaced by blind allegiance to their party and leader😣

ewr1947.bsky.social•113 days ago

There was a lot of money and support for Hitler, too. We are a democracy.

Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦 We can learn so much from the people of Ukraine especially now and we need to more than ever! https://youtu.be/RibAQHeDia8?...

luciust.bsky.social•116 days ago

In what world does a Dem “inherit” stolen power?
Are we assuming free and fair elections in this scenario?
Maybe im just not understanding, cuz that will never happen

mikesacks.bsky.social•116 days ago

Accord @elienyc.bsky.social https://bsky.app/profile/mikesacks.bsky.social/post/3lipiwu7oqc2c

mikesacks.bsky.social•116 days ago

Per Elie's point in the grab above, a loss in this case for the Democratic Party would ultimately be good for the Democratic Party and its policy preferences for free and fair elections...should a Republican-controlled FEC ever allow Democrats to win again https://bsky.app/profile/kyledcheney.bsky.social/post/3ljaxfzdsfi2k

pelledge.bsky.social•116 days ago

What an absurd point. It's the equivalent of saying if Putin loses the next election the opposition party can use all that power to bring in free elections. I see one huge flaw in the argument.

dndlife.bsky.social•116 days ago

They know they can never allow a free and fair election. They're dumb, but not that dumb. If Trump makes it to 2028 he isn't leaving. Quite honestly, I doubt 2026 is going to matter unless something very big happens in terms of significant coalition building, marching, and better Dem leadership.

ralph05.bsky.social•115 days ago

Great news, so in 4 years we may have a decision, if USA is still a democracy.

mikesacks.bsky.social•116 days ago

*a loss on the merits, as the complaint seems to set the case up to be tossed on standing

jmeyernj.bsky.social•115 days ago

well that will take a little bit to wind its way through the courts in the Trump judges

abernus.bsky.social•116 days ago

They let him in on this last go-around, he's not even a legitimate president to say nothing of being a real president. After l
having seen all that, do you really think the Dems deserve any votes? Let's stop blaming the Nazis for casting the vote we knew they would cast, and blame the others!

vivykerr.bsky.social•115 days ago

the plan is to be in office permanently

garyo376.bsky.social•116 days ago

I think they have no intention of allowing another Dem POTUS. fascist authoritarians consolidate power for a reason. There is no consideration to EVER being out of power again. He, who shall remained unnamed, knew he wasn't going to need the Reichstag anymore when he burned it down.

koji-kong.bsky.social•114 days ago

I say let's do this, have democratic world leaders announce and show support for the Americans (federal Workers) being fired under Putin by televising their support. Then we'll see the Americans threatened by putin/trump show support for them as well. We need to take back the narrative of democracy.

vickyschauer.bsky.social•115 days ago

Like what will they do when trump becomes unalive at some “ripe” old age (from natural causes, of course??? Replace him with Elon Musk?

courageousgirl2.bsky.social•114 days ago

AGENT KRASNOV recruited by KGB 1987

sarahgabriella84.bsky.social•115 days ago

You know thats not how they think. They want their guy to have all the power, no one else.

edward44.bsky.social•115 days ago

Read about JD Vance's primary philosopher: Curtis Yarvin!
They want a "CEO" presidency with a corporation-structured federal government. Literally, the elimination of our democratic Republic and its replacement with full dictatorship!

wholetree.bsky.social•116 days ago

You are confused.... the premise of your question assumes we will still have legitimate elections. We are in a fascist dictatorship now, and all that that implies.

betsy-cazden.bsky.social•116 days ago

They are certain that they've designed a foolproof system by which they can seize absolute power and hold it for decades to come. The question is whether we can muster enough collective pushback to prove them wrong.

fiona-webster22.bsky.social•116 days ago
